Garbo's Dripping Springs

We had a great experience at Garbo’s with our family of four. An overall great experience so I’m keeping my review a 5, but I do have a couple small things worth mentioning. The kids enjoyed pointing out all the fun decor and I can’t wait to come here when the weather is warm because it’s got to be the perfect place to hang out. My husband and I got cocktails and we’re a little disappointed by the amount of ice in the glasses. If you took it all out, the cocktails would have filled maybe a third of the glasses. We also got the seasonal lobster roll which was a white truffle roll. Neither of us could taste much truffle past the first bite which was explained to us as being because the truffle is in the butter that’s drizzled on top to give a truffle “essence”. I’m a big truffle fan so that was disappointing, but the roll was delicious overall so I was still very happy with my meal. I’m not a lobster roll connoisseur, though, so I don’t have a lot to compare it to. But my impression was positive. The truffle in the truffle fries was fantastic and worth the up charge. We all got soft serve for dessert which was a fun treat. We had a fantastic time here and despite a few bummers I know we’ll be back to Garbo’s many MANY more times and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Really nice space, friendly staff, and most importantly a menu where everything sounds good. We had two mini lobster rolls, lobster bisque, calamari, and small fish & chips and everything was excellent.

We had the pleasure to dine at the new Garbo’s last night. Oysters, crab cake and salmon were all excellent. I don’t think you can get any better seafood than at Garbo’s! Drink selection is also excellent. We enjoyed a piece of grapefruit pie to top it off. Yum! Excellent, attentive wait staff. Great addition to Dripping! Only suggestions: music was loud and the seats could use a bit more cushioning.

We were excited to try this new spot. The food did not disappoint! I had the fish n chips which was a very large portion and was delicious. The sauces were on point! The wifey had the Maine lobster roll which was also really good! She opted to sub the side for a side salad.. even the house salad was done well. It tasted really fresh. We both started with a cup of chowder which was decent. I would have expected it to come with oyster crackers. One of our kiddos got the kids mac n cheese which wasn't our fav. She ended up not eating it, but I could see some people liking it. It wasn't for our tastebuds. My other kiddo got the adult fried shrimp platter which he devoured.. good stuff! We ended up too full to try the ice cream, but it looked delicious. The service was lacking a little bit, but I think that's to be expected with a new restaurant. I expect that it should get better over the next few months. Overall we're really excited to have a new spot in Drip! Go check it out!

Have been anxiously waiting to try this place and it did not disappoint. I regret not taking pictures, but I was just so hungry I forgot. Carlos, our server, was exceptionally amazing! After we told him it was our first time, he went over the whole menu giving his favorites on each category. He brought extra lemons, ice, and a to go tea without even being asked. We settled on the lobster roll trio, ceviche, and the OG fish burrito. All were excellent! The green hatch chile lobster roll was outstanding! We also tried the key lime pie on Carlo's suggestion, and it was delicious as well! We will definitely be back! Although on the slightly pricey side, it is definitely worth it!

This is a lobster and seafood restaurant, and there are a few around Austin. I normally go to the one up near Palmer and Mopac. This one is smaller and the atmosphere is not quite as fun. The food is still good, but the lobster is a little pricey for the Portions that are served. The shrimp are good and the cocktail sauce is also interesting with a little bit of kick to it.

This is a gem of a restaurant if you love seafood. Tucked away right off 290 W before Dripping Springs, use Google maps to find it, because it's hard to spot from the road. I have been there twice now and it is already one of my absolute favorite places for seafood. I have eaten lobster in Boston many times, and this place is as good as it gets. Delicious, fresh lobster meals with generous portions. The prices are reasonable, the interior has a cute sea-faring atmosphere that makes you feel like you're on the water. The customer service is top-notch. Leah helped us with our orders, and she was friendly and very knowledgeable with the menu and made great recommendations to balance our meals. If you are in the mood for some great seafood, this is the place to go. Definitely worth the visit.

We've driven past this spot for years. It looks kinda small and off the beaten path from the road but is a gem inside! It is very roomy inside and somehow feels upscale and neighborhoody at the same time. We sat at the bar and Andrea was fabulous! She's an attentive bartender and gave us special attention given that it was our first time. - I have a feeling everybody gets great service from her every visit. The food was excellent and served immediately. There aren't tons of choices but they have all the classics. AND they have a delicious burger! Nice wine selection and tasty homemade ice creams. We'll be back here again and again!
